This regulation requires each partial hospitalization facility to maintain a written plan documenting its policies and procedures, covering the scope of services offered, intake, admissions and discharge policies, continuity of care, and ongoing staff development. It is part of Pennsylvania's Chapter 5210, which governs partial hospitalization programs under OMHSAS and DDAP oversight. Facility operators must ensure this written plan is current and comprehensive.
